Russell Questions Veterans Burden in Reserve Bill
Sen. Russell of Georgia questioned the fairness of requiring veterans to bear the main burden of the proposed military reserve plan as hearings opened. He argued the reserve burden should not fall on those who volunteered or were drafted for duty and noted the reserve today is larger and more efficient than ever. Pentagon testimony is planned for Monday with outside witnesses today and tomorrow as Senate leaders aim for passage late next week.
